Curriculum
Retrieval Practice
We provide regular opportunities for children to revisit and recall previous learning, helping them to strengthen their understanding and build knowledge over time. Retrieval practice supports children in developing confidence, fluency, and long-term memory.
Modelling
Teachers explicitly model new learning, demonstrating key skills, thought processes, and strategies. Through clear explanations and worked examples, children are supported in understanding how to approach tasks successfully before applying learning independently.
Scaffolding
We believe all children can succeed with the right support. Teachers provide carefully planned scaffolds to guide learning and build confidence, gradually removing support as children become more independent and secure in their understanding.
Questioning and Feedback
High-quality questioning and responsive feedback are central to our teaching. Teachers adapt learning to meet children’s needs, deepen understanding, challenge thinking, and ensure all pupils make progress.
Vocabulary and Oracy
We place a strong emphasis on developing language and communication skills across the curriculum. Children are encouraged to discuss ideas, explain their thinking, and confidently use ambitious vocabulary in meaningful contexts.
As a small school community, every child is known and valued as an individual. We work closely together to create a culture of kindness, aspiration, and belonging where achievements are celebrated and children are encouraged to become thoughtful, responsible citizens.
Through our curriculum, we aim to nurture children who are ready to contribute positively to the world around them — children who believe in themselves, explore with curiosity, and achieve with confidence.
